[ve:v0.0.5]
[00:00.00]
[00:01.04]Everybody shut up
[00:03.59]♪
[00:08.71]Everyone listen up (hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey)
[00:15.43]
[00:17.81]If you can't write in the proper way
[00:21.88]If you don't know how to conjugate
[00:25.59]Maybe you flunked that class
[00:27.49]And maybe now you find
[00:29.37]That people mock you online (everybody wise up)
[00:33.42]Okay now here's the deal, I'll try to educate ya
[00:37.23]Gonna familiarize you with the nomenclature
[00:41.25]You'll learn the definitions of nouns and prepositions
[00:45.09]Literacy's your mission
[00:47.15]And that's why I think it's a good time
[00:51.02]To learn some grammar (what)
[00:53.01]Now did I stammer?
[00:54.92]Work on that grammar
[00:56.42]You should know when it's less or it's fewer
[01:00.88]Like people who were
[01:02.65]Never raised in a sewer
[01:03.98]I hate these word crimes
[01:06.75]Like I could care less
[01:08.57]That means you do care
[01:10.59]At least a little
[01:11.89]Don't be a moron
[01:14.79]You'd better slow down and use the right pronoun
[01:18.46]Show the world you're no clown (everybody wise up)
[01:20.31]Say you got an I-T followed by apostrophe S
[01:24.43]Now, what does that mean?
[01:26.11]You would not use "it's" in this case as a possessive (no, no, no)
[01:30.44]It's a contraction (yeah, yeah, yeah)
[01:32.12]What's a contraction?
[01:33.81]"Well, it's the shortening of a word
[01:35.04]Or group of words by omission of a sound or letter"
[01:36.39]Okay now, here's some notes
[01:38.27]Syntax you're always manglin'
[01:40.27]No "x" in espresso
[01:42.13]Your participle's danglin'
[01:44.22]But I don't want your drama
[01:46.29]If you really wanna, leave out that Oxford comma
[01:50.11]Just keep in mind that be, see, are, you
[01:53.80]Are words, not letters
[01:55.79]Get it together, use your spell checker
[01:59.25]You should never
[02:01.91]Write words using numbers
[02:03.66]Unless you're seven, or your name is Prince
[02:06.82]I hate these word crimes
[02:09.69]You really need a full-time proofreader
[02:13.83]You dumb mouth-breather
[02:14.66]Well, you should hire
[02:17.19]Some cunning linguist
[02:19.47]To help you distinguish what is proper English (everybody wise up)
[02:23.36]One thing I ask of you
[02:24.91]The time to learn your homophones is past due
[02:26.72]Learn to diagram a sentence too
[02:28.70]Always say "to whom"; don't ever say "to who"
[02:30.96]And listen up when I tell you this
[02:32.93]I hope you never use quotation marks for emphasis
[02:34.77]You finished second grade; I hope you can tell
[02:36.74]If you're doing good or doing well (everybody wise up)
[02:38.88]Better figure out the difference
[02:40.68]Irony is not coincidence
[02:42.62]And I thought that you'd gotten it through your skull
[02:44.74]'Bout what's figurative and what's literal
[02:46.65]Oh, but just now (just now) you said (you said)
[02:48.76]You "literally couldn't get out of bed" (what)
[02:50.67]That really makes me wanna literally
[02:52.37]Smack a crowbar upside your stupid head
[02:53.95]I read your e-mail (yeah, yeah)
[02:57.14]It's quite apparent your grammar's errant
[03:00.51]You're incoherent
[03:02.21]Saw your blog post (hey, hey)
[03:04.79]It's really fantastic
[03:06.76]That was sarcastic (aw psych!) 'cause you write like a spastic
[03:09.92]I hate these word crimes (everybody wise up)
[03:12.76]Your prose is dopey
[03:14.57]Think you should only write in emoji
[03:17.69]Oh, you're a lost cause
[03:20.59]Go back to pre-school, get out of the gene pool
[03:24.06]Try your best to not drool
[03:27.30]Never mind, I give up
[03:31.33]Really now, I give up
[03:33.58](Hey-hey-hey)
[03:35.41](Hey-hey-hey)
[03:37.20](Go away)
